If you really get tired and (especially) lightheaded doing a short walk that sounds pretty alarming to me and very much like an underlying medical problem rather than a symptom of depression.
Your daily meditation sounds great. Do you find that it helps?

It depends on how briskly you walk and what your heart rate is. Aerobic is when your muscle cells burn oxygen along with sugars and carbs. Anaerobic is when the muscle cells do not burn oxygen and only sugar and carbs. Both are certainly good but aerobic is better.
